I got a suite at the W, but it made no difference cause I was working 15 hr days during the shoot. Long hours sure, but I'd gladly do it again just to wear multiple hats. I learned to use a stapler gun, drove a huge-ass Ford Expedition (if you know me, you know I don't drive at all), be prop master's assistant, and wear booties on the green "screen." Somewhere along a 30-drink Starbucks run, I met (and spoke to!!!) Aimee Mann. The bf was psyched, and so were a couple of cool producer guys, but most people just went, "who's Aimee Mann?"

Livie stayed at the hotel to be closer to her workplace. It was hardly a slumber party. By the time I got home every night, she'd be snuggled up on the couch bed zzzing away.
